CONSIDERATA

Good things can happen for all the wrong reasons.If I had been more successful in business, then I wouldn’t be writing this tractatus right now.If jihad weren’t threatening the foundations of the western world, then capitalism might very well kill us all before it knows its limits.All revolutions go too far by definition, three hundred sixty degrees and you’re back where you started.Except that the entire plane where you started is also in revolution, so you actually come back to a different place in the larger plane, for better or worse, like the difference between tropical and sidereal years.An individual mind, ‘brain’ if you’re an absolute materialist, makes revolutions per minute on a good day, depending on the horsepower of your engine.There’s a world of free will on the inside, pure and innocent.Your wish is its command.The real world is not so naïve.It has a mind of its own.It can give and it can take away without explanation and no apparent causality.It’s larger than any of us individually.
